Apple ad plays off Florida ballot design

MacCentral: Apple ad plays off Florida ballot design

I wish I had seen this. Anyone have a copy of the ad they could scan in?

Update: The scanned ad is now in the MacCentral article...

Also, a MacCentral reader notes there's a new chad-inspired Snickers commercial with the animated donkey and elephant.

Agilent sells Healthcare Solutions Group

PR (a couple days old but news to me): Philips to acquire Agilent Technologies' Healthcare Solutions Group for $1.7 billion... wow.

Agilent will focus on the communications and life sciences markets.

3D Projection Without the Glasses

3D Projection Without the Glasses -- WHOA!!

"The effect was not unlike the famous special effect in Star Wars where R2D2 projects a holographic display. But unlike R2D2's grainy video, the images at Comdex were often as vivid and concrete as real objects.

And unlike most other 3D displays, Dimensional Media's does not require special glasses or any kind of headgear.

"It's magic," said Anna Zharkova, an event manager from Russia, who was running around the booth like a headless chicken. "I cannot believe it. It's just magic.""

Daily pictures

My Palm is still charging, 3 hours to go. (this is agonizing)

Now that I finally have a digital camera (okay, a lame one but it's better than nothing!) I think I'll bring back the daily pictures.

For those of you who are new to this site, I used to have a new picture on this site each day, but it became difficult to keep up with so I stopped after a couple of months.

Palm IIIc

Say Palm and Smile

Today I bought a Palm IIIc organizer and a Kodak PalmPix camera.

So, what should I do with it?? If you have a Palm, I'd like to know what software I should install on it, what sites Palm users visit, etc.

Newbie Alert!

Simpson uses his fists to send Yashin a message

LOL!

Simpson uses his fists to send Yashin a message -- "A lot of the guys don't agree with what he did and I was hoping to get a standing ovation from the fans. The fans deserve to see him get his butt kicked around a little bit. I thought they'd enjoy that."

Yeah, good ole' Canadian boy kickin some ass. :-)
